me being me :) Instagram - finnwhitakerr?i... TikTok - www.tiktok.com/@finnwhitakerr... Music, all my own recordings! Thank u for watchin, LESH GOOO!!!
playing guitar on an Egyptian beach with your Dad and brother...priceless memories! World smart is so much better than book smart...seeing all the different cultures, making friends around the world gives you a perspective most people never even know to dream about.
Yes. I also believe being world smart is more beneficial than just simple book smarts. It's the experiences that bring wisdom. Not facts in a book lol. This dude is cool. He even does backflips. I used to be a gymnast so that's cool and resonate. So far, I'd rather watch Finn over most family RUclipsrs that do alllllll of the same trends lol. Those trends get old guys...
I just want to tell this dude, that I would exchange all my friends throughout highschool and college. For a better paying job so I can one day have a few years to just travel. Plus I don't see most of my friends from highschool or college nowadays anyway
My young friend i have discovered this wonderful voyage and your family whom i greatly admire for what they are offering you and sister. I am 83 and have worked all over the world. You worry about having no friends.. ii am now living in the town where i was born and am handicapped from a fall. My computer is my window on the world and i have friends all over. May i remind you,, to have friends you must be a friend . Do care plrase. Thankyou for letting me enjoy your doings..
so glad u answered the school questions bc i was MAD CONFUSED but i think ur family’s way of school is a great idea honestly. u don’t have to learn the unimportant things that are in regular curriculums. ur relationship w ur family is beautiful, don’t stop making these videos.
There’s online school as well. I went to grade 7 to finishing high school exclusively on the internet. No zoom calls, just a document or a RUclips video then some short questions after. Each assignment has a due date, but for my school at least they didn’t care much to enforce it. So I often had a backlog of assignments in 7-8 courses stretching back 5+ months which I did them all in a couple of weeks during summer vacation. A lot of freedom but it gets lonely compared to an in person or zoom school.
Would love to hear about your parents story and what made them choose to raise kids on a boat. Super dope content and lifestyle, hopefully we see a lot more from you man!!!
Bruh, you live a very unique lifestyle. At the same time, you don’t need to be Booksmart, it looks like you’re doing very well for yourself. I wish you nothing but success in life. With love from Vegas.
@@RonaldCorrao Common sense? Perhaps for YOU but not for ME which is why I asked. Perhaps I should explain it from MY point of view. He's a kid who's been stuck on a boat for 7 years with his family. He has no tangible friends. Tangible meaning people he can hang out with in person. His mother is only teaching him basics and it appears he received no structural formal education. This is important because a good primary education gives you the skills you need to survive in a modern world. Also, it looks like he just basically hangs out all day. So what is going to happen to him when, eventually, this world cruise ends and he becomes an adult. He will be in the world with no in person social skills and no education. What kind of job will he get and how will he support himself? I don't call that 'doing well.' That is MY 'common fucking sense.'
I believe the schooling you are receiving is so much better then any scool kid. You are seeing the world. You have great parents that are giving you a true look at the world. It's been amazing seeing all of you grow through the years. I would like to say I think what you're parents did by taking other teenagers on board was a great idea . Was that some you had enjoyed? Or was it a bit to much having so many people on the boat? Thanks. Until your next video.
I was homeschooled under the same philosophy. I'm in University now and can't believe that my peers aren't way ahead of me. Then again, American public schools are not the best.
I’m a retired business teacher and taught financial literacy for yrs, definitely the most important thing you’ll learn and need to use every day. Your family is the best & you’re getting the best education 🙌🏼
I majored in business at university. A TOP university at that. It wasn't my choice because I do much better at social sciences. The one thing that amazed me and STILL amazes me is that the 'real world' of business is actually nothing like we learned. There is theory and there is practical real world application.
@@trisbane4086 Did you ever see the Rodney Dangerfield movie Back To School? The scene when he's in the business class and clashes with the professor? That movie actually came out when I WAS in college. I thought that scene was funny but after a few years in the profession, I found out so much of the points about real life in business Dangerfield made was true. My favorite line from that scene was when the professor asked where they should build their factory and Dangerfield says 'how about fantasyland?' 😂 In college, we learned about integrity in business. About how good businesses create products that people need which furthers society and make life better and easier. How it creates good paying jobs for people which raises their standard of living and allows them to buy MORE durable goods. How mass production lowers prices and makes your product more available for the economically challenged. And that increases profits and makes more money for shareholders. How creating a good well made product that lasts is paramount. How accurate accounting is the honest way because it's your businesses reputation that is at stake and the shareholders have a right to honest books and the government expects it. Then, I found out the truth. Businesses work to make their books have the outcome THEY want instead of the real numbers. That just getting 'close enough' to the numbers is good enough because people don't have the time and are overworked because they company won't hire much needed people because it would be a drain on profits and executive salaries. Then there was the outsourcing to foreign countries who could make the product cheaper. Of course, that mean the quality of the product was cheap too and would break easily or not last as long (if it worked at all out of the box). Then they expected Americans to BUY their cheap goods even though those foreigners may have taken much needed jobs from them. Then there are the ways to scam customers out of warranties. The games they play with customer service so you can't actually reach people. Don't even get me started on how the lie to and try to stave off government agents and regulators. Then there is the total lack of caring about their employees. How they are treated more like a cog in a piece of machinery rather than humans. I used to laugh at the name 'human resources department.' I used to say 'what the hell is so HUMAN about them?' Have you heard enough, or would you like MORE examples? Like people who gave 25 or 30 years of loyal service to companies and one day they just call them in and tell them they're through because they're getting too old and make too much money but they aren't old enough to retire and get their pensions/401K and Social Security but they are way too old for anyone else to want to hire.
as someone who is homeschooled and doesnt exactly live the average teenage life , this is great ! ive always been really insecure about not learning enough or not living the way other teenagers do , although ive came to realise thats completely fine . as you said , its okay not to be book smart . :)
i'm 17, and from 11-14 I grew up living in an Rv, traveling the country. I understand the frustration with not having friends, or making friends and having to leave them. I keep in touch with some of my traveling friends, but I do wish that they weren't so far from me. I gotta say though, after traveling for so long, It's made me really appreciate the stable friendships I now have. Now, i'm in florida and i've been here for a few years. But while it's great to have friends, i miss traveling and seeing incredible things and never knowing what i'd do the next day. Each lifestyle that i've lived has taught me something new, and both have pros and cons. But I think i'm starting to learn that adventure doesn't require traveling somewhere new, and a fulfilled life can happen right here where I am. Idk, just wanted to share that ig. Life is crazy!
"All you teenagers who get to go do stuff with your friends, not every gets that opportunity" Ouch. That hit hard. at the same time it's nice to be heard. I don't live on a boat, but I do all my schoolwork virtually, so I don't have any friends from school. It feels bad because since I DO live in the suburbs and not the ocean, it's fully possible for me to make friends, but it always feels just so out of reach, I can never quite be in the right situation. I think your perspective on your phone is really interesting, I personally think social media and the internet has kind of ruined actual real life interaction, but it's interesting to see how for someone like you it opens up social interaction you could never have without it. Thanks for making these videos, you seem really genuine and your life seems so wholesome.
Good Job Finn! I understand what you are going through and it IS tough sometimes. My family traveled to a new country every 6 months for years and it was so difficult for my son to make friends, he's your age. Luckily, for both of you, this kind of lifestyle creates the most interesting kind of person. I see it in you, your siblings and my son. It's a purity of kindness, an awareness of the feelings and essence of those around you. You have a natural sense of goodness and these qualities will be with you forever Finn, and as I tell my son, it's these qualities that will attract the most deep friendships. These kinds of friendships last a life time! You are so blessed to be in this state of calmness while you learn and your parents are just wonderful for giving you the opportunity to develop into such a great man. Bravo!
That’s what you hope. Not everyone is the same. I know a kid of parents who also have to move countries each 6 months because of their jobs, the kid HATES IT. Because he loses the deep connection he had with his friends over time because they don’t hang out often anymore. As a kid, it sucks to leave your friends all the time. Family is important yes, but having friends who can stay with you forever is also important! And the parents make good money yes, but the kids have to suffer because of the decisions of the parents. all because the parents wanted to travel and earn money. Such parents should not have children, children just want to play and have long lasting friends. Not temporary friends and then moving on. Just don’t have children if your happiness is more important than theirs. Instead of equal
My parents moved a lot. I don't want to do that when I have kids. Well, I mean, not like my parents did. I'd want to have friends who have children the same age as my kids to travel with. Traveling was fun, but I only have like 3 solid childhood friends now, and I'm still far away from them most times. When I was 18 or so I realised for the first time that I need to invest in my friendships because the friends I made traveling would just dissappear. Now I have more homies, and although I had to go to live w my nan recently, taking me away from them, I know I'm gonna be back soon enough and a few of them want to travel the world as well as I.
The cinematography in your videos is beautiful and really shows your connection with your family and the earth. Stay you and don’t change anything! What an incredible life
Oh Finn, these videos weirdly give me a lot of peace. It feels like your sharing your travel experience and the beautiful world for people who can't see it right now.. and I love that. Also, your family seems so great :)
You have fans that are of all ages. The teens and the current life you live we all see in the current time. The twenty-somethings are watching and dreaming that they should have had the life you live. The thirty-somethings are watching and remembering their teen years and how they rolled in their twenties. And so on and so forth. And now at 70, I look back at my teen years and thank God I had awesome years and the memories are as clear as my 20/20 sight. Of course, I could go on and on with my life experiences. Continue making good choices young man. Best wishes to your family.
I've been dreaming of the sailboat-life for quite a few years now. In a society, where every student is longing for finishing school so they can go travel around the world and get a sense of freedom, it is very rare to see a different kind of living, where you don't strive for something in the future, but are completely present in the moment. It's refreshing to see someone like you really appreciating your current surroundings and being present where you are at the moment. Thank you for sharing this:) It is interesting to hear you mention the less appealing things about the life on a sailboat, the not really having any close friends your age part. I have never really thought about that before, it is very easy to envy another lifestyle than your own when you don't know it's downsides. I guess there's pros and cons for every lifestyle. I'm sure you will build deep and long-lasting friendships someday:) There's a time for everything, and we all need to trust God's path for us. God bless:))
i think its amazing that u're getting so much clout, this channel is certainly VERY INTERESTING!! however, piece of advice: don't take this for granted and take advantage of it while u can! its very common for channels to experience highs and lows so make the most of this by uploading daily, interacting more, community tab etc. wish u the best:)!
i can tell you have such an amazing heart. And you love what you’re doing so as long as you’re happy keep doing what you’re doing you’re doing awesome 🙌🏼🙌🏼
This channel is so chill and cool to watch. I love getting to see how you experience life living on a sailboat. As a teenager myself, I understand how it could get lonely without being able to make friends the "normal" way but getting to travel the world and have all these experiences at a young age is so awesome.
Finn I’m 20 and in university right now studying environmental sciences, and I can tell you first hand just spend some time watching documentaries on RUclips that fit your niche and you will learn everything and anything you want to. Then you can go from there and do some really cool shit (find a sick job, continue exploring etc), your still young and I promise you don’t wanna move to fast through that phase of your life, love the videos!
I have a not so similar story growing up, as well as moving around a lot (although probably not as much as you) and I have to say sometimes having friends is fun but the memories you make with your family are way better. Moving to different countries and experiencing how different things may be and how not so different they may be are some of the most important aspects of life that many people should have an opportunity undergo.
this is the most wholesome video ive seen on youtube in a minute. thanks for sharing bro, ur family looks so happy and amazing you really are lucky to have this experience, you'll never forget these moments, my eyes welled up a little at the end when you were singing together this is honestly so amazing to see, I hope if I have a family they will be as happy as you are. In my last year of highschool and can say you're not missing out on anything better, exam stress rly takes away from relationships and clicheyness in highschool is not that fun, I hope you appreciate and enjoy everything you have at the moment, loved the video, instant subscribe :)
This is amazing. Honestly, it seems like you’re getting a great education. I think seeing the world sparks a knack for curiosity and a love of learning, which a lot of people don’t have anymore! xx
Your lifestyle is so beautiful as well as the editing and composition of these videos! There’s only two of them so I’m in anticipation mode from now on 🙌🏼
I really like your authentic and somewhat cinematic way of filming and editing your RUclips videos. I seen a few comments that say this but you really do have a very beautiful and unique perspective of the world and you’re doing a great job capturing it.
I've just started to follow you, made me smile a lot! keep it genuine just like you are please. You being you is INSPIRING and FUN. I believe that you're getting the best education that there is plus top notch and high-quality family time with the cherry on the ice cream of all those wonderful experiences sailing and in main land. Kudos to you, kudos to your bro and sist, and big kudos for your parents! Not only they seem awesome and wonderful people but they have done an incredible job with you guys. Happy to be your friend!
i think you’ll have a lot of great stories to tell one day. it may get a little lonely but one day when you’re off on your own you’ll have all these cool stories to tell your best buds
Бро, ты такой комфортный) У тебя потрясающий образ жизни, и хобби) Так здорово что ваша мама правильно воспитывает вас) Главное не унывать по поводу того что нету друзей. Друзья верные найдутся. Вот у меня тоже так к слову нету настоящих друзей, с кем можно было бы честно по душам поговорить. Но ничего) как говорил раньше , главное не обращать внимание на такие пустяки
Aw! This is the most wholesome channel on RUclips! I love this! Please keep making videos! I’d love to know the back story of how your family transitioned into this lifestyle! What were you doing before?
Finn! I love that your sharing your life. Me, my sister and mom have a similar lifestyle, always moving around. It's super fun to watch someone we can relate to😌
this is so wholesome finn - it made my day :) but yeah i understand what you're saying about being closer to your family than with friends- i guess everyone has different people they hold close to - sometimes they're people you meet along the way, but i reckon if you're lucky, you're already born with them - it makes it easier on your heart, knowing that no matter where you are, or how far you travel - there'll be some people that really will walk beside you forever. i think cherish the time you have with them - bc soon, you'll grow up and move out and you'll look and realise they were the good old days (like that andy quote from the office) - i wish there was a way to know you're in the good old days before you actually left them
OK DUDE! I am now discovering your channel and WE have so much in common! I live in Costa Rica and have always been on the beach. I went to 7 different schools before 8th grade. Now I'm homeschooled( I'm 15) and traveling with my family. I have no friends and sometimes get asked if I'm getting a good education. But like you said Not a lot of teenagers have the lifestyle you have. Thank you for being real with this channel! makes people like me feel less alone as teenagers!
Great job Finn! I started watching you guys a while ago and then binge-watched until I caught up, now I am watching yours as well. I have 2 teenage kids that are in the process of saving up and if all goes as planned should be living that life in a couple of years. It has been interesting watching and learning from the videos, but it is also great to see things from your perspective as well. It's great that you get to learn more of the important things from school, than some of the useless things everybody else learns through the years. (ooops that is my inner voice speaking) Keep up the good work everyone!
thank you for sharing everything. I had no idea you can live this way you’re learning everything you’re supposed to be learning in life never doubt that you are truly blessed. xoox
Finn, you have friends! They’re just like mine… online, and I live on land. As for school… public school is the drags. Homeschool crushes it. Your fam is the BOMB. I full time RV’d twice, as a teen and grown adult with my own business. I also lived in 30 different places. Nothing and no one holds me heart like my family. Glad you’re RUclips-ing. Excellent content, editing and audio layers, I’m impressed! Keep posting, snd we’ll keep watching. God bless!
this video was so wholesome, it's a cozy vibe and it felt like I was there with you, which was nice. Thank you for the experience and keep up with these kind of videos
Im literally so glad that u came across while watching RUclips. I immediately watched all of your previous videos. You have such a nice aura and it’s super interesting to watch ur life as a teenager living on a sailboat. But as you already answered some questions in this and the previous video, I still have some questions. Like, how do you guys get clean water and how do you get electricity? Thank you for making my day and starting this RUclips channel, it’s amazing :) ❤️ (And if you were curious, you already have some people watching from across the entire world. For example: me. I’m from Europe :))
There’s something about you that makes me want to keep watching. Saw two seconds of your first video and was immediately captivated and had to subscribe. It’s so odd I can’t really explain it but your whole personality is so unique and very refreshing.
dude these vids r so sick!! the filming is amazing Finn keep it up ur such fun person to watch and I'm lowk jealous of ur lifestyle it seems rly fun not to mention ur super wholesome and i can tell u work rly hard for what u want!!
Love watching your progress Fin, hey you will still be booksmart. Books are wonderful and you have the opportunity to read all the good ones! Plus, being worldsmart and getting the opportunities you are getting daily is just priceless. I think you and your family are terrific. Be safe, much love Suzie, Tasmania. 😊😊
Really loving it, keep making yt videos this are easy and comforting to play in the background unlike quick tiktoks(that I still love) but I really think you will get to far showing these adventures 💕
i love this life style so much and glad your sharing it cuz many people dont! My dad traveled on his boat as a kid like your family does and he really wants to take our family to do the same! Ive grown up on my sail boat every summer since i was a still in my mothers belly and it really is something special to experience and few people will understand!
Finnnn! this is so great, ur two episodes ive seen so far are basically like a mini netflix show hahaha. Seriously you have a very unique and interesting lifestyle so im so glad u are able to share it all. On top of that your filmmaking is on point so its a great story and great visuals working together with your very charismatic personality that makes this channel feel very strong! I have no doubts you will rise to the top on YT in no time
Finn I just found your RUclips channel and I’m so glad I did. You seem like such a genuine guy with an almost childlike enthusiasm for life! Your videos bring a smile to my face so thanks for that:) I will definitely make sure to check back in every Sunday since your therapist won’t🤣😉
Brother, your life is beautiful. Thanks for sharing this with us. I feel so blessed that we are living in the same history timeline, and despite being miles apart we can still communicate through this platform. This has been real.
Traveling is the best way to learn. I’ve learned a lot more in my travels than I have in uni when it comes to history and culture. There are some things you just can’t teach by the book, you have to experience it. Keep up the great cinematography on these videos!
Finn, you are such a nice, likable and fun young man, I predict your life is and always will be full of friends. It might not be in a 1920's traditional sense, but who wants that anyways! (AND you have a Band!!!)
i hope you know the ease you just brought me, i genuinely appreciate u and it’s such an odd feeling to appreciate someone whom you don’t even know each other but yeah. thank you
Oh my gosh this is my new favorite RUclips channel. Sailing the world is my dream!! You have such a raw, fun, and calming personality which makes your videos so enjoyable to watch :)
Your channel is very young just like you Finn and over time I think you will have an amazing channel which will represent who you are as you get older .will be great to see you transition from what your doing now and what you will be doing in the future .
Man your life is so admiring... idk how old are you, but you seem to live life truly and that's the most soul fullfiling thing on earth! Knowledge is not only hold in books, is out there in form of experiences too soooo you are very smart... Hope you keep up with this amazing content, your editing skills are fire too! Btw hope the message is understandable cause my english level is questionable sometimes lol
i'm actually obsessed with your content so much! your editing is amazing as always and your lifestyle is a dream, it also reminds me a lot of outer banks. keep up the good work
Gotta say, friends are over rated... they will use you and abuse you and when they are done, they will move on to the next 'friend' they can use and abuse.
keep sharing this videos with us, it has helped me a lot with my mental health knowing there's others ways to live life, and enjoy it like you do, love u bro!💙💙
This is great! I grew up in an RV travelling with my family and doing just about 1-2hrs of work. (The whole world smart thing...yeah it's real). I didn't share anything on RUclips, but this is a unique lifestyle that not a lot of people know about. I am going to Oxford now, and let's just say this channel is reminding me of the good times. I am subscribing and excited to see what will become of it
These vlogs are amazing it feels like I’m there with you. This channel will go very far. I’m a college student but got the cool chance of spending 3 months living on a sailboat this past summer. Got to sail from the Bahamas all the way up the east coast. Can’t wait to keep watching.
You will blow up so fast, i don‘t know what it is, I think you‘re just being yourself, your life is extraordinary and your filmography is awesome. What a combo! Keep it uP!
Hey Finn! Don’t knock your homeschooling! You are MORE than book smart! I’m sure your parents are teaching you ALL the important stuff and you’re not missing out on a thing! You’re WAY ahead of your peers! ~signed a 55 year old mom who homeschooled all her kids and they are now in their upper 20’s and one is 30…and unlike most American young people, they DO know what country Hawaii is in 😉. ~Chrisanne in MN
I just stumbled across your videos(like yesterday lol)and I wanted to say thank you for taking the time to make these videos.I can tell alot of love and passion goes into your content and I think its so cool that you share the beautiful and hard moments in your life with us.Keep doing what your doing and remember your never alone!You got this!👍🏽✨✨
I grew up on a boat too, from when I was 12 to when I was 15, came back to life on land about 8 years ago and I am missing boat life so much lately. It seems like you’re enjoying it a lot and I hope you are because I wish I had realized how incredible it was while it was happening. Great video!
Wow such a cool vibe this video shows Also I think it's amazing that you can just jump out into the water from your home Good luck in the future, Finn✨💚💚💚
Nice one Finn. I watch the main Zatara channel always. Great to see you branching out and capturing the memories form your own aspect. You'll look back in many years to come at the clip of you on the beach with Keith and Jack with the fondest memories. You're living the dream man!
I feel this, to some extent. I traveled in an RV with my family all across the united states. so like what your doing on a drastically smaller scale. I loved the experiences and I have so many stories now. I love sharing experiences with people.
As a metropolitan i wish i could travel around the world by boat... it's such an amazing way to discover the so unknown but so loved sea ! I hope you realize how lucky you are... Btw I loved the video ! Keep doing videos like this, i love it !
playing guitar on an Egyptian beach with your Dad and brother...priceless memories! World smart is so much better than book smart...seeing all the different cultures, making friends around the world gives you a perspective most people never even know to dream about.
Yes. I also believe being world smart is more beneficial than just simple book smarts. It's the experiences that bring wisdom. Not facts in a book lol.
This dude is cool. He even does backflips. I used to be a gymnast so that's cool and resonate.
So far, I'd rather watch Finn over most family RUclipsrs that do alllllll of the same trends lol. Those trends get old guys...
Living life in the Fullness of Humanity is the way to go... Play the cards that are dealt to you to the best of your ability 🃏
Looks like your getting the right education to be successful.
I just want to tell this dude, that I would exchange all my friends throughout highschool and college.
For a better paying job so I can one day have a few years to just travel.
Plus I don't see most of my friends from highschool or college nowadays anyway
My young friend i have discovered this wonderful voyage and your family whom i greatly admire for what they are offering you and sister. I am 83 and have worked all over the world. You worry about having no friends.. ii am now living in the town where i was born and am handicapped from a fall. My computer is my window on the world and i have friends all over. May i remind you,, to have friends you must be a friend . Do care plrase. Thankyou for letting me enjoy your doings..
so glad you decided to show your life growing up on a boat, it’s such a unique perspective on life few people get to experience
Im glad you enjoy watching :) Thank you so much 💙💙

but i think ur family’s way of school is a great idea honestly. u don’t have to learn the unimportant things that are in regular curriculums. ur relationship w ur family is beautiful, don’t stop making these videos.
There’s online school as well. I went to grade 7 to finishing high school exclusively on the internet. No zoom calls, just a document or a RUclips video then some short questions after. Each assignment has a due date, but for my school at least they didn’t care much to enforce it. So I often had a backlog of assignments in 7-8 courses stretching back 5+ months which I did them all in a couple of weeks during summer vacation.
A lot of freedom but it gets lonely compared to an in person or zoom school.
Would love to hear about your parents story and what made them choose to raise kids on a boat. Super dope content and lifestyle, hopefully we see a lot more from you man!!!
@@ebenusteling418 Thank you. I do want to go into this sort of lifestyle as an adult so. Would be great.
They have got yt channel too, where they share those things
Your editing style is literally so clean and matches your vibe so well. i love it so much keep it up 🫶💪
ahah thank you su much mate! 💙💙
That singing by the bonfire is literally beautiful. You are an extremely talented musician and vlogger.
Bruh, you live a very unique lifestyle. At the same time, you don’t need to be Booksmart, it looks like you’re doing very well for yourself. I wish you nothing but success in life. With love from Vegas.
Define 'doing well' in this circumstance dude.
@@retroguy9494 Common fucking sense, dude, that’s what I meant by “doing well”
@@RonaldCorrao Common sense? Perhaps for YOU but not for ME which is why I asked.
Perhaps I should explain it from MY point of view. He's a kid who's been stuck on a boat for 7 years with his family. He has no tangible friends. Tangible meaning people he can hang out with in person. His mother is only teaching him basics and it appears he received no structural formal education. This is important because a good primary education gives you the skills you need to survive in a modern world. Also, it looks like he just basically hangs out all day.
So what is going to happen to him when, eventually, this world cruise ends and he becomes an adult. He will be in the world with no in person social skills and no education. What kind of job will he get and how will he support himself? I don't call that 'doing well.' That is MY 'common fucking sense.'
@@retroguy9494 Perhaps, let me explain it from my point of view, you’re looking way to fucking far into it. But, I see your point.
@@RonaldCorrao It's true; I do tend to be analytical. That's both my nature and my profession. However, I'm glad you see my point.
I believe the schooling you are receiving is so much better then any scool kid. You are seeing the world.
You have great parents that are giving you a true look at the world. It's been amazing seeing all of you grow through the years.
I would like to say I think what you're parents did by taking other teenagers on board was a great idea . Was that some you had enjoyed? Or was it a bit to much having so many people on the boat? Thanks.
Until your next video.
I was homeschooled under the same philosophy. I'm in University now and can't believe that my peers aren't way ahead of me. Then again, American public schools are not the best.
Finn you’re so awesome anybody would be happy to be your friend ❤
I’m a retired business teacher and taught financial literacy for yrs, definitely the most important thing you’ll learn and need to use every day. Your family is the best & you’re getting the best education 🙌🏼
I majored in business at university. A TOP university at that. It wasn't my choice because I do much better at social sciences.
The one thing that amazed me and STILL amazes me is that the 'real world' of business is actually nothing like we learned. There is theory and there is practical real world application.
@@retroguy9494 Can you give a few examples of what you mean- the differences between the two worlds?
@@trisbane4086 Did you ever see the Rodney Dangerfield movie Back To School? The scene when he's in the business class and clashes with the professor? That movie actually came out when I WAS in college. I thought that scene was funny but after a few years in the profession, I found out so much of the points about real life in business Dangerfield made was true. My favorite line from that scene was when the professor asked where they should build their factory and Dangerfield says 'how about fantasyland?' 😂
In college, we learned about integrity in business. About how good businesses create products that people need which furthers society and make life better and easier. How it creates good paying jobs for people which raises their standard of living and allows them to buy MORE durable goods. How mass production lowers prices and makes your product more available for the economically challenged. And that increases profits and makes more money for shareholders. How creating a good well made product that lasts is paramount. How accurate accounting is the honest way because it's your businesses reputation that is at stake and the shareholders have a right to honest books and the government expects it.
Then, I found out the truth. Businesses work to make their books have the outcome THEY want instead of the real numbers. That just getting 'close enough' to the numbers is good enough because people don't have the time and are overworked because they company won't hire much needed people because it would be a drain on profits and executive salaries. Then there was the outsourcing to foreign countries who could make the product cheaper. Of course, that mean the quality of the product was cheap too and would break easily or not last as long (if it worked at all out of the box). Then they expected Americans to BUY their cheap goods even though those foreigners may have taken much needed jobs from them. Then there are the ways to scam customers out of warranties. The games they play with customer service so you can't actually reach people. Don't even get me started on how the lie to and try to stave off government agents and regulators. Then there is the total lack of caring about their employees. How they are treated more like a cog in a piece of machinery rather than humans. I used to laugh at the name 'human resources department.' I used to say 'what the hell is so HUMAN about them?'
Have you heard enough, or would you like MORE examples? Like people who gave 25 or 30 years of loyal service to companies and one day they just call them in and tell them they're through because they're getting too old and make too much money but they aren't old enough to retire and get their pensions/401K and Social Security but they are way too old for anyone else to want to hire.

Его родители должны быть реально богатыми, в районе миллионеров. Тогда конечно, можно плавать ни о чем не беспокоясь и не ходить в школу.
as someone who is homeschooled and doesnt exactly live the average teenage life , this is great ! ive always been really insecure about not learning enough or not living the way other teenagers do , although ive came to realise thats completely fine . as you said , its okay not to be book smart . :)
i'm 17, and from 11-14 I grew up living in an Rv, traveling the country. I understand the frustration with not having friends, or making friends and having to leave them. I keep in touch with some of my traveling friends, but I do wish that they weren't so far from me. I gotta say though, after traveling for so long, It's made me really appreciate the stable friendships I now have. Now, i'm in florida and i've been here for a few years. But while it's great to have friends, i miss traveling and seeing incredible things and never knowing what i'd do the next day. Each lifestyle that i've lived has taught me something new, and both have pros and cons. But I think i'm starting to learn that adventure doesn't require traveling somewhere new, and a fulfilled life can happen right here where I am. Idk, just wanted to share that ig. Life is crazy!
"All you teenagers who get to go do stuff with your friends, not every gets that opportunity"
Ouch. That hit hard.
at the same time it's nice to be heard.
I don't live on a boat, but I do all my schoolwork virtually, so I don't have any friends from school. It feels bad because since I DO live in the suburbs and not the ocean, it's fully possible for me to make friends, but it always feels just so out of reach, I can never quite be in the right situation.
I think your perspective on your phone is really interesting, I personally think social media and the internet has kind of ruined actual real life interaction, but it's interesting to see how for someone like you it opens up social interaction you could never have without it.
Thanks for making these videos, you seem really genuine and your life seems so wholesome.
As a teenager from rural asian town, I would die to live a life like this. This is so wholesome
Honestly, your videos are very very well filmed and edited. I litteraly dont know who wouldnt want to be your friend. Keep on going !
Good Job Finn! I understand what you are going through and it IS tough sometimes. My family traveled to a new country every 6 months for years and it was so difficult for my son to make friends, he's your age. Luckily, for both of you, this kind of lifestyle creates the most interesting kind of person. I see it in you, your siblings and my son. It's a purity of kindness, an awareness of the feelings and essence of those around you. You have a natural sense of goodness and these qualities will be with you forever Finn, and as I tell my son, it's these qualities that will attract the most deep friendships. These kinds of friendships last a life time! You are so blessed to be in this state of calmness while you learn and your parents are just wonderful for giving you the opportunity to develop into such a great man. Bravo!
That’s what you hope. Not everyone is the same. I know a kid of parents who also have to move countries each 6 months because of their jobs, the kid HATES IT. Because he loses the deep connection he had with his friends over time because they don’t hang out often anymore. As a kid, it sucks to leave your friends all the time. Family is important yes, but having friends who can stay with you forever is also important! And the parents make good money yes, but the kids have to suffer because of the decisions of the parents. all because the parents wanted to travel and earn money. Such parents should not have children, children just want to play and have long lasting friends. Not temporary friends and then moving on. Just don’t have children if your happiness is more important than theirs. Instead of equal
My parents moved a lot. I don't want to do that when I have kids. Well, I mean, not like my parents did. I'd want to have friends who have children the same age as my kids to travel with.
Traveling was fun, but I only have like 3 solid childhood friends now, and I'm still far away from them most times. When I was 18 or so I realised for the first time that I need to invest in my friendships because the friends I made traveling would just dissappear. Now I have more homies, and although I had to go to live w my nan recently, taking me away from them, I know I'm gonna be back soon enough and a few of them want to travel the world as well as I.
The cinematography in your videos is beautiful and really shows your connection with your family and the earth. Stay you and don’t change anything! What an incredible life
Oh Finn, these videos weirdly give me a lot of peace. It feels like your sharing your travel experience and the beautiful world for people who can't see it right now.. and I love that. Also, your family seems so great :)
You have fans that are of all ages. The teens and the current life you live we all see in the current time. The twenty-somethings are watching and dreaming that they should have had the life you live. The thirty-somethings are watching and remembering their teen years and how they rolled in their twenties. And so on and so forth. And now at 70, I look back at my teen years and thank God I had awesome years and the memories are as clear as my 20/20 sight. Of course, I could go on and on with my life experiences. Continue making good choices young man. Best wishes to your family.
I've been dreaming of the sailboat-life for quite a few years now. In a society, where every student is longing for finishing school so they can go travel around the world and get a sense of freedom, it is very rare to see a different kind of living, where you don't strive for something in the future, but are completely present in the moment. It's refreshing to see someone like you really appreciating your current surroundings and being present where you are at the moment. Thank you for sharing this:) It is interesting to hear you mention the less appealing things about the life on a sailboat, the not really having any close friends your age part. I have never really thought about that before, it is very easy to envy another lifestyle than your own when you don't know it's downsides. I guess there's pros and cons for every lifestyle. I'm sure you will build deep and long-lasting friendships someday:) There's a time for everything, and we all need to trust God's path for us. God bless:))
i think its amazing that u're getting so much clout, this channel is certainly VERY INTERESTING!! however, piece of advice: don't take this for granted and take advantage of it while u can! its very common for channels to experience highs and lows so make the most of this by uploading daily, interacting more, community tab etc. wish u the best:)!
i can tell you have such an amazing heart. And you love what you’re doing so as long as you’re happy keep doing what you’re doing you’re doing awesome 🙌🏼🙌🏼
This channel is so chill and cool to watch. I love getting to see how you experience life living on a sailboat. As a teenager myself, I understand how it could get lonely without being able to make friends the "normal" way but getting to travel the world and have all these experiences at a young age is so awesome.
Finn I’m 20 and in university right now studying environmental sciences, and I can tell you first hand just spend some time watching documentaries on RUclips that fit your niche and you will learn everything and anything you want to. Then you can go from there and do some really cool shit (find a sick job, continue exploring etc), your still young and I promise you don’t wanna move to fast through that phase of your life, love the videos!
I have a not so similar story growing up, as well as moving around a lot (although probably not as much as you) and I have to say sometimes having friends is fun but the memories you make with your family are way better. Moving to different countries and experiencing how different things may be and how not so different they may be are some of the most important aspects of life that many people should have an opportunity undergo.
this is the most wholesome video ive seen on youtube in a minute. thanks for sharing bro, ur family looks so happy and amazing you really are lucky to have this experience, you'll never forget these moments, my eyes welled up a little at the end when you were singing together this is honestly so amazing to see, I hope if I have a family they will be as happy as you are. In my last year of highschool and can say you're not missing out on anything better, exam stress rly takes away from relationships and clicheyness in highschool is not that fun, I hope you appreciate and enjoy everything you have at the moment, loved the video, instant subscribe :)
This is amazing. Honestly, it seems like you’re getting a great education. I think seeing the world sparks a knack for curiosity and a love of learning, which a lot of people don’t have anymore! xx
I ABSOLUTELY love LOVE the clip of you. Your dad and brother together on the beach. ❤ What a blessing!
They’re so wholesome and pure I love it
Your lifestyle is so beautiful as well as the editing and composition of these videos! There’s only two of them so I’m in anticipation mode from now on 🙌🏼
I really like your authentic and somewhat cinematic way of filming and editing your RUclips videos. I seen a few comments that say this but you really do have a very beautiful and unique perspective of the world and you’re doing a great job capturing it.
I've just started to follow you, made me smile a lot! keep it genuine just like you are please.
You being you is INSPIRING and FUN. I believe that you're getting the best education that there is plus top notch and high-quality family time with the cherry on the ice cream of all those wonderful experiences sailing and in main land.
Kudos to you, kudos to your bro and sist, and big kudos for your parents! Not only they seem awesome and wonderful people but they have done an incredible job with you guys.
Happy to be your friend!
this is beautiful! I love how you edit your videos, they are so calm and the way you all play the guitar is so nice to hear❤❤
i think you’ll have a lot of great stories to tell one day. it may get a little lonely but one day when you’re off on your own you’ll have all these cool stories to tell your best buds
Бро, ты такой комфортный) У тебя потрясающий образ жизни, и хобби) Так здорово что ваша мама правильно воспитывает вас) Главное не унывать по поводу того что нету друзей. Друзья верные найдутся. Вот у меня тоже так к слову нету настоящих друзей, с кем можно было бы честно по душам поговорить. Но ничего) как говорил раньше , главное не обращать внимание на такие пустяки
Aw! This is the most wholesome channel on RUclips! I love this! Please keep making videos! I’d love to know the back story of how your family transitioned into this lifestyle! What were you doing before?
Saw one of your tiktoks and I'm glad to have found your RUclips. You have such a calming vibe. I love these videos keep em coming.
Finn! I love that your sharing your life. Me, my sister and mom have a similar lifestyle, always moving around. It's super fun to watch someone we can relate to😌
i love this so much! your videos are so calming and makes it feel like we're right there with you.
You’re videos are so calming and I love them already
this is so wholesome finn - it made my day :) but yeah i understand what you're saying about being closer to your family than with friends- i guess everyone has different people they hold close to - sometimes they're people you meet along the way, but i reckon if you're lucky, you're already born with them - it makes it easier on your heart, knowing that no matter where you are, or how far you travel - there'll be some people that really will walk beside you forever.
i think cherish the time you have with them - bc soon, you'll grow up and move out and you'll look and realise they were the good old days (like that andy quote from the office) - i wish there was a way to know you're in the good old days before you actually left them
This video is everything I love about life; travel, experiencing different culture, family, our beautiful earth
OK DUDE! I am now discovering your channel and WE have so much in common! I live in Costa Rica and have always been on the beach. I went to 7 different schools before 8th grade. Now I'm homeschooled( I'm 15) and traveling with my family. I have no friends and sometimes get asked if I'm getting a good education. But like you said Not a lot of teenagers have the lifestyle you have. Thank you for being real with this channel! makes people like me feel less alone as teenagers!
Great job Finn! I started watching you guys a while ago and then binge-watched until I caught up, now I am watching yours as well. I have 2 teenage kids that are in the process of saving up and if all goes as planned should be living that life in a couple of years. It has been interesting watching and learning from the videos, but it is also great to see things from your perspective as well. It's great that you get to learn more of the important things from school, than some of the useless things everybody else learns through the years. (ooops that is my inner voice speaking) Keep up the good work everyone!
thank you for sharing everything. I had no idea you can live this way you’re learning everything you’re supposed to be learning in life never doubt that you are truly blessed. xoox
Finn, you have friends! They’re just like mine… online, and I live on land. As for school… public school is the drags. Homeschool crushes it. Your fam is the BOMB. I full time RV’d twice, as a teen and grown adult with my own business. I also lived in 30 different places. Nothing and no one holds me heart like my family. Glad you’re RUclips-ing. Excellent content, editing and audio layers, I’m impressed! Keep posting, snd we’ll keep watching. God bless!
I have no friends either.
this video was so wholesome, it's a cozy vibe and it felt like I was there with you, which was nice. Thank you for the experience and keep up with these kind of videos
Im literally so glad that u came across while watching RUclips. I immediately watched all of your previous videos. You have such a nice aura and it’s super interesting to watch ur life as a teenager living on a sailboat. But as you already answered some questions in this and the previous video, I still have some questions. Like, how do you guys get clean water and how do you get electricity?
Thank you for making my day and starting this RUclips channel, it’s amazing :) ❤️
(And if you were curious, you already have some people watching from across the entire world. For example: me. I’m from Europe :))
Finn!!! I love how authentic you are . Thank you for opening up to us about your own journey . ❤
There’s something about you that makes me want to keep watching. Saw two seconds of your first video and was immediately captivated and had to subscribe. It’s so odd I can’t really explain it but your whole personality is so unique and very refreshing.
dude these vids r so sick!! the filming is amazing Finn keep it up ur such fun person to watch and I'm lowk jealous of ur lifestyle it seems rly fun not to mention ur super wholesome and i can tell u work rly hard for what u want!!
Love watching your progress Fin, hey you will still be booksmart. Books are wonderful and you have the opportunity to read all the good ones! Plus, being worldsmart and getting the opportunities you are getting daily is just priceless. I think you and your family are terrific. Be safe, much love Suzie, Tasmania. 😊😊
I just feel so much better after watching this video, thank you a lot and your life is truly amazing
I’m such a fan of how authentic you are!!
Really loving it, keep making yt videos this are easy and comforting to play in the background unlike quick tiktoks(that I still love) but I really think you will get to far showing these adventures 💕
i love this life style so much and glad your sharing it cuz many people dont! My dad traveled on his boat as a kid like your family does and he really wants to take our family to do the same! Ive grown up on my sail boat every summer since i was a still in my mothers belly and it really is something special to experience and few people will understand!
You are so talented! Great filming & editing 😊
Wow this video is insanely good, just the camera angles and the music, you can tell that you learned a lot from your mom!!
Loved this! very wholesome! keep going Finn, you are doing an awesome job! I wish you reach million subs.
bro your family is so cool, I love how you and your brother and dad are singing on the beach. Very wholesome :)
Finnnn! this is so great, ur two episodes ive seen so far are basically like a mini netflix show hahaha. Seriously you have a very unique and interesting lifestyle so im so glad u are able to share it all. On top of that your filmmaking is on point so its a great story and great visuals working together with your very charismatic personality that makes this channel feel very strong! I have no doubts you will rise to the top on YT in no time
Absolutely love that all of the music in the video is yours, it sounds so great!
Finn I just found your RUclips channel and I’m so glad I did. You seem like such a genuine guy with an almost childlike enthusiasm for life! Your videos bring a smile to my face so thanks for that:) I will definitely make sure to check back in every Sunday since your therapist won’t🤣😉
Watching your videos are make me feel comforting especially water sounds and the bondfire part is my definitely favorite part .
I think all of the moms of teenagers are super impressed that you made your own food.
Brother, your life is beautiful. Thanks for sharing this with us. I feel so blessed that we are living in the same history timeline, and despite being miles apart we can still communicate through this platform. This has been real.
Traveling is the best way to learn. I’ve learned a lot more in my travels than I have in uni when it comes to history and culture. There are some things you just can’t teach by the book, you have to experience it. Keep up the great cinematography on these videos!
"a grilled cheese sandwich, or a few of them" so real 😂😍
Finn, you are such a nice, likable and fun young man, I predict your life is and always will be full of friends. It might not be in a 1920's traditional sense, but who wants that anyways! (AND you have a Band!!!)
Nothing better than listening to a family harmonize ❤ more please
i hope you know the ease you just brought me, i genuinely appreciate u and it’s such an odd feeling to appreciate someone whom you don’t even know each other but yeah. thank you
Oh my gosh this is my new favorite RUclips channel. Sailing the world is my dream!! You have such a raw, fun, and calming personality which makes your videos so enjoyable to watch :)
That guitar interlude at 0:22 was crazy cool. Please do more of that. Cheers!
Your channel is very young just like you Finn and over time I think you will have an amazing channel which will represent who you are as you get older .will be great to see you transition from what your doing now and what you will be doing in the future .
Man your life is so admiring... idk how old are you, but you seem to live life truly and that's the most soul fullfiling thing on earth!
Knowledge is not only hold in books, is out there in form of experiences too soooo you are very smart...
Hope you keep up with this amazing content, your editing skills are fire too!
Btw hope the message is understandable cause my english level is questionable sometimes lol
i'm actually obsessed with your content so much! your editing is amazing as always and your lifestyle is a dream, it also reminds me a lot of outer banks. keep up the good work
Gotta say, friends are over rated... they will use you and abuse you and when they are done, they will move on to the next 'friend' they can use and abuse.
This is incredible! What a cool experience! Also the editing is amazing
i love this, the editing, your humor, everything 😂 keep it up! :)
keep sharing this videos with us, it has helped me a lot with my mental health knowing there's others ways to live life, and enjoy it like you do, love u bro!💙💙
This is great! I grew up in an RV travelling with my family and doing just about 1-2hrs of work. (The whole world smart thing...yeah it's real). I didn't share anything on RUclips, but this is a unique lifestyle that not a lot of people know about. I am going to Oxford now, and let's just say this channel is reminding me of the good times. I am subscribing and excited to see what will become of it
That’s an awesome life to live. Your editing is on point.
These vlogs are amazing it feels like I’m there with you. This channel will go very far. I’m a college student but got the cool chance of spending 3 months living on a sailboat this past summer. Got to sail from the Bahamas all the way up the east coast. Can’t wait to keep watching.
You will blow up so fast, i don‘t know what it is, I think you‘re just being yourself, your life is extraordinary and your filmography is awesome. What a combo! Keep it uP!
Hey Finn! Don’t knock your homeschooling! You are MORE than book smart! I’m sure your parents are teaching you ALL the important stuff and you’re not missing out on a thing! You’re WAY ahead of your peers! ~signed a 55 year old mom who homeschooled all her kids and they are now in their upper 20’s and one is 30…and unlike most American young people, they DO know what country Hawaii is in 😉.

Finn, what a lovely way showing us more insides of your live! We love your video and sense of humor. Greetings from Holland ❤❤
I just stumbled across your videos(like yesterday lol)and I wanted to say thank you for taking the time to make these videos.I can tell alot of love and passion goes into your content and I think its so cool that you share the beautiful and hard moments in your life with us.Keep doing what your doing and remember your never alone!You got this!👍🏽✨✨
I grew up on a boat too, from when I was 12 to when I was 15, came back to life on land about 8 years ago and I am missing boat life so much lately. It seems like you’re enjoying it a lot and I hope you are because I wish I had realized how incredible it was while it was happening. Great video!
Definitely have your moms editing expertise, with of course your own style. Great job Finn
Wow such a cool vibe this video shows
Also I think it's amazing that you can just jump out into the water from your home
Good luck in the future, Finn✨💚💚💚
those types of videos make me feel warmer and reconsider a way i live . i believe that some day i will experience this
So glad I found you guys today you’ve got a new subscriber who’s really enjoying your art
Great video Finn. You are so blessed to have such a cool life and be close to all of your family. Thanks for sharing with everyone. Take care
Hey Finn, you're a natural at editing it seems. Like your videos.
Nice one Finn. I watch the main Zatara channel always. Great to see you branching out and capturing the memories form your own aspect. You'll look back in many years to come at the clip of you on the beach with Keith and Jack with the fondest memories. You're living the dream man!
I feel this, to some extent. I traveled in an RV with my family all across the united states. so like what your doing on a drastically smaller scale. I loved the experiences and I have so many stories now. I love sharing experiences with people.
As a metropolitan i wish i could travel around the world by boat... it's such an amazing way to discover the so unknown but so loved sea ! I hope you realize how lucky you are...
Btw I loved the video ! Keep doing videos like this, i love it !
